Circulation variability in the Adriatic Sea and in small domains along the eastern Adriatic coast during 2007 and 2008

POM and ROMS ocean models were used to perform a year-long simulation of the Adriatic circulation. Both models had almost the same setup which allowed for a reliable comparison between their results. Although these models successfully reproduced the basic characteristics of the Adriatic circulation, some differences appeared and they could be related to the different numerical formulation of two models. Model results were evaluated with the CTD and HF radar measurements. Simulated fields from both Adriatic models were used for the open boundary conditions in several coastal domains along the eastern coast through a nesting procedure. The impact of the selected open boundary conditions on the circulation and thermohaline properties in the coastal domains was assessed with ADCP and CTD measurements.
